AUDRAIN GERMANS.
Among Our Most Prosperous Farmers
-German Church-AudraIa a
Fine Wheat County.

We had the pleasure Sunday, in
company with NJ. Blum, J. NJ. Pol
lard and I. +. Roden, of attending
church at the German church on
Bean Creek. This is the only Ger
man church and school in the county,
although there is preaching once q
month at Rush Hill, and, we learn,
there Is soon to be O church establish
ed at Benton City, and, perhaps, u
at Rush Hill and one at Martins
burg. There are q large number of
Germans in Audrain county and they
are most worthy and prosperous
farmers. They know how to farm
and are not afraid to work. Their
work and pans is rewarded with the
best of crops.
Rev. Herman kroerka, 3 finely
educated young German, is pastor of
the Bean Creek church and is great
ly beloved by the people who know
him. The church started with eight
members and now has over thirty,
and is in a hourishing condition un-
der the careful and faithful preach
ing of its young pastor.
After church, with q few of the
neighbors, we took dinner at Louis
Hubert's, and such a dinner. In the
first place Mrs. Hubert is one of the
best cooks in the land, and in the
next place she has plenty to cook.
She made the entire party feel at
home. Hubert, like most all of the
Germans in the county, has a large
farm and knows how to work it. The
Germans are fast proving that Au-
drain is a fine wheat county, where
the crops properly attended to. Mr..
Hubert has fifty acres of wheat which
will average owe 20 bushels to the
acre, and all his other crops look
proportionately well andMrs Hubert's
garden is a model. Hubert has a fine
farmer and we noticed that all of the
farm in that part of the county, and
most of them are owned by Ger
mans, were unusually well cared for,
and that a great deal of fertilizing
matter is being used, which is bring
ing the worn out land to the front
andproducing as good, If not better,
crops than some of the new land not
properly handled. We trust that
Mr.. and Mrs. Hubert and their genial
neighbors may never have any less
bright prospect for a crop, and that
it may oftener be our happy lot tc
dine with them.

PLEADING FOR A RAISE.

The Letter Carriers Petition to Con-
xress for the Passage Of the nil
Providing for nm Increase in Their
Salaries.
The mail carriers of Rock Island and
Moline have prepared and. signed the
following resolution, copy of which has
been sent to every representative in con-
gress in the state of Illinois, the action
coincidiug with that of the mail carriers
all over the country:
We, the letter carriers of Rock Island
and Moline, composing portion of your
constituency, having been informed by the
National Association of Letter Carriers of
the United States, that q bill would be
presented at the coming session of cons
gress, having for its purpose the increas,
ing of salaries OF all carriers in the
United States, and requesting us to urge
upon our representatives in that body to
lend US all aid possible. We do
earnestly request your efforts in
our behalf, knowing that you are
| now and always have been ready
to help the laborlng classes to obtain
just compensation for their services. We
are informed that the following bill will
| be presented:
"Be it enacted by the congress of the
| United States, that on and after January
1, 1888. the salary of all letter carriers
shall be 500 per month"
1t unnecessary to state that the carriers
are justified in petitioning for an increase
in salary There is no class of laborers
whose duties combine more hardships,
exposure, expenses and responsibility,
and congress would simply be awarding
just and earned compensation in making
the salary 800 per month.
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1887-12-15

The receipts and disbursements OF the
county fiscal year of Rock Island county
show some interesting figures.
Sheriff Silvis' report for 1887 shows
receipts of So, 81; disbursements g.,
272 ~; net earnings for the county ST. |
1859. In 1886 Sheriff Rsticker receivs
ed $2,639.91 and expended S2,152.65,
leaving his earnings S4S7 .26-quite a
difference in Mr.. Silvis' favor, which
shows also that the Office during the first
year of his administration has brought in
more revenue to the county than at any
time before in the history of Rock Island
county.
County Treasurer Schafer's net earn
ing for 1887 were $500 o. In 1886 the
Office yielded for County Treasurer Fiem-
ing $7142.
County Clerk Donaldson's receipts for
the year 1887 were $7.365.57; expendi
lures. 81. 1903. 80; net earnings, So, sci 81.
In 1886 Mr.. Donaldson's receipts were
1895 30; disbursements, S4.626; net
earnings, So ,299 80.
Circuit Clerk Bowman's report for 1887
shows receipts of $3,667 60; expendi-
lures, 50, $40 SIS; net earnings, 50, S25.05.
For 1886, the receipts of this Office were
$3,692 As; disbursements, $3,sl225;
net earnings. $ss020.
Thus it will be seen that the Offices of
treasurer and sheriff, both with demo-
cratic incumbents, are the only ones
whose total earnings exceed those of
years ago, while both the circuit and
county clerks Offices fall behind. Coun-
ty Treasurer Schafer brings his earnings
up IN a way that must be extremely graf
flying to taxpayers, showing a gain o
$3.50. 81 over last years figures. which i:
quite an item to bankrupt county
Furthermore, the county treasurer IT.
ceives no fees whatsoever, but the salar,
of the treasurer, clerk hire, etc.. mus
be paid out Of the earnings as count,
collector.
Sheriff Silvis has earningsIamounting
$64S.S3 over his predecessor in office an
better record than has ever been mad
by a republican. Altogether the ARet
feels warranted in saying that the demot
racy has no reason to blush at the recor
of its public officers. or fear of havin
the record published.
